CVE-2008-1589
Safari on Apple iPhone before 2.0 and iPod touch before 2.0 misinterprets a menu button press as user confirmation for visiting a web site with a (1) self-signed or (2) invalid certificate, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof web sites.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
